Methods and apparatus are provided for manipulating content displayed on a touch screen utilizing a transparent pressure-sensing touch panel. A method comprises displaying content on the touch screen and obtaining one or more pressure metrics for an input gesture on the transparent pressure-sensing touch panel. Each pressure metric corresponds to pressure (or force) applied to the transparent pressure-sensing touch panel by a respective impression of the input gesture. The method further comprises adjusting the displayed content on the touch screen in response to the input gesture, wherein the displayed content is adjusted based on to the one or more pressure metrics for the input gesture.

A material (100) includes a transparent matrix (102) comprising at least one polymer material, and a plurality of transparent conducting particles (104) dispersed in the transparent matrix (102). The material (100) may be disposed between an array of conductive intersects to form a transparent piezoresistive sensor (300, 602). A controller (606) is coupled to the transparent piezoresistive sensor (300, 602) for sensing (702, 802, 902) a change in resistance when pressure is applied to the transparent matrix. One or more pressure levels and/or one or more locations may be sensed (704, 804, 904) to enable a function.

High quality epitaxial layers of monocrystalline oxide materials (24) can be grown overlying monocrystalline substrates (22) such as large silicon wafers. The monocrystalline oxide layer (24) comprises a layer of monocrystalline oxide spaced apart from the silicon wafer by an amorphous interface layer (28) of silicon oxide. The amorphous interface layer serves as a decoupling layer between the substrate and the buffer layer so that the substrate and the buffer is crystal-graphically, chemically, and dielectrically decoupled. In addition, high quality epitaxial accommodating buffer layers may be formed overlying vicinal substrates using a low pressure, low temperature, alkaline-earth metal-rich process.

The electrode layer is heavily doped silicon. According to a second embodiment, there is provided a silicon (111) surface on which is formed a first dielectric layer of crystalline silicon nitride having a thickness of about 2 monolayers. A second dielectric layer compatible with silicon nitride and having a higher dielectric constant than silicon nitride is formed on the first dielectric layer and an electrode layer is formed over the second dielectric layer. A third dielectric layer of silicon nitride having a thickness of about 2 monolayers can be formed between the second dielectric layer and the electrode layer. The second dielectric layer is preferably taken from the class consisting of tantalum pentoxide, titanium dioxide and a perovskite material. Both silicon nitride layers can be formed as in the first embodiment. The electrode layer is preferably heavily doped silicon
